Sakamoto Ryoma and Nakaoka Shintaro are known as the two generals of the sea and land in the Curtain Fall Force, and Sakamoto Ryoma's Sea Aid Association and Shintaro's Land Aid Association are both very important forces in the Fall Curtain force.

Among them, the Sea Aid Association is also known as the money bag of the Shogunate forces, and in real history, Sakamoto Ryoma provided a large amount of financial support to the Shogunate faction through the southwest maritime trade and arms sales.

Although Sakamoto Ryoma is very good at business, and the business of the Sea Aid Association makes him famous, but he is not only in business, Ryoma-kun's swordsman inherited the Chiba master of the Edo Castle Kita-chan sword, and Ryoma-kun was also a master among the swordsmen in Japan at that time.

In this crazy cage battle, Ryoma-kun was the first to rush to the city, and since the start of the war, Ryoma-kun has been holding a bad breath in his heart. The eight strategies in his own ship were obviously for the good of Japan, but the result was everyone's eyes, and the entire downturned force was hostile to him, and some even shouted the name of rebellion.

Ryomajun knew that if it weren't for Xiao Letian's support, maybe he would have been excluded from the downfall force by now, and even his life would have to be lost.

In order to prove that he was not a rebel, Sakamoto Ryoma killed extremely crazy, with two knives in his hand, one long and one short, and two Colt revolches stuffed with a cowhide armed belt around his waist.

"Long Mingjun...... Watch out for ...... behind you" A sword chopped off the head of a sneak attack samurai, and Shintaro Nakaoka and Ryoma-kun gasped back-to-back.

"Okay, Ryoma-kun, you have proved your loyalty with blood, others don't believe me, Shintaro believes in your loyalty......"

Ryoma's nose was sour, and tears almost burst out of his eyes, "Gentlemen...... Bloody battle! Break through Ichinojo ......" Under his fierceness, the elite of the Sea Aid Team and the Land Support Team began to expand the battle line from the breach, and Osaka Castle, which had not been able to attack for a long time, was finally smashed into the strongest shell.

"Broke through...... Onboard!broke through the ...... On the battlefield, the allied forces were actually like watching the Tokugawa family's flags being dropped from the city, and the cheers were like waves of the sea.

The Tokugawa army, which had retreated to the walls of Ninojo Castle, reduced the defensive area, and the firepower became more intensive, and the rain of bullets from foreign guns hit the walls of Ichinojo Castle, and stone chips flew one after another.

Soon Ryoma Sakamoto was bitten by a bullet in the left shoulder, and the blood could not be stopped with a handkerchief, but he still ran wildly on the city wall, boosting the morale of the soldiers with his actions.

At this moment, the castles of Ichijo were knocked open, and Aritomo Yamaprefecture, who was the main force of Ashigaru, rushed in, "Slaughter the city, slaughter the city!" The crazy Yama Prefecture Aritomo looked up and saw the injured Sakamoto Ryoma and the Nakaoka Shintaro who was covered in blood who didn't know whose it was.

"Yo Xi...... Thank you for your hard work, Commander Takamori Saigo has seen your bravery, and you have obtained the first credit of the city, please go back and rest!"

"What?" Shintaro Nakaoka angrily thundered on the castle wall, "Shameless! You are so shameless to rob us of our credit......"

It is very rude for a samurai to be recalled halfway from the battlefield that is about to be won, and Aritomo Yamaguchi has challenged the bottom line of the samurai spirit.

Sakamoto Ryuma pulled his sleeve "Shintaro don't be so irritable, Yama Prefecture Aritomo represents the interests of the Choshu Domain, and the commander-in-chief of this war is Saigo Takamori, that is, the Shimazu family is in command, and the Saigo commander-in-chief must consider the interests of the Choshu Domain, this is politics, you don't understand ......"

"It seems that Saigo-sama is going to give the credit for the destruction of the castle tower to the Choshu domain......"

Shintaro Nakaoka didn't know what politics was, he only knew that such an act had insulted him, but the dignity of the commander-in-chief on the battlefield could not be challenged, and he had no other way than to scold.

The soldiers of the Choshu Domain took the place of the Sea Aid and the Land Aid Team and began to defend the head of Ichijo Castle, and the musketeers began to shoot at Ni no Castle, and the bullets rained down in mid-air, and the screams of those who were shot were incessant.

The guards helped Sakamoto Ryoma to the front of Saigo Takamori, and Ryoma-kun pushed away the guards and bowed to the commander-in-chief, "Fortunately, the castle wall of Ichino has finally been taken!"

It wasn't until now that Saigo Takamori had a good face on Ryoma Sakamoto, "Well, Ryoma-kun has worked hard, and your name will be in the merit book after the war, so please go down and rest now......"

Ryoma knew that he didn't have a share in the credit, but he didn't take the credit, and after bowing deeply, Ryoma-kun returned to the back camp.

At this time, Yama County Youpeng had already begun to charge towards the city of Nizhi with his own formation, and the passages in the city were densely packed with soldiers, and the musketeers at the head of the city were desperately suppressing the enemy's firepower.

"Duck give...... Massacre ...... Slaughter the city!" thousands of soldiers roared like wild beasts, and the whole city shook.

The Tokugawa shogun in the castle tower sneered and looked down, "It's really a hell of killing! I know you're here to avenge two hundred years ago, so I'll give you a ......."

With the general's order, more than a dozen city bricks were suddenly pushed away from the walls of Ni Castle, two Gatling machine guns were pushed out, and the machine gunners who had been trained for more than half a year cooperated in pairs, one shook the crank at a constant speed, and the other began to install the bullet chain.

The brass sound sounded suddenly, and two tongues of fire began to wave in the dense crowd, and the soldiers who were shot trembled from the beating, and blood flowers bloomed on their chests.

"It's Gatling...... It is a Gatling ...... made in the United States Get out of here!" Ryoma Sakamoto had seen the New Army's Gatling gun drills in the Ryukyus, and the firepower was simply not something that flesh and blood could resist.

"Damn, there must be real European military experts behind the Tokugawa family, and now few people in Asia know about this kind of weapon, and this Gatling has a big flaw, it won't work at all unless it's operated by a veteran......"

Ryoma Sakamoto was right, the first generation of Gatling used a hand-crank reload mode, and manual reloading required an extremely uniform speed or else it would jam.

But people are not machines, and people on the chaotic battlefield are easy to kill, and it will be very difficult to achieve a constant speed at that time, so Gatling's failure rate on the battlefield is very high, which is also a very important factor for Makqin to replace Gatling later.

Obviously, the Tokugawa family knew about Gatling's defect, so they made a bold attempt to address this defect, and the Tokugawa family actually used three people to control the heavy machine gun that was originally operated by two people.

One person controls the direction of the muzzle, the other loads, and the third person is actually deaf and blind, and he has been training how to shake the crank at a uniform speed for half a year.

This is really a genius idea, the deaf and blind will not be disturbed by the atmosphere of the battlefield, and sure enough, the crank shook at an extremely uniform speed, and the heavy machine gun fired for ten minutes, and it did not jam once.

Shan County Youpeng's eyes were torn with anger, and he watched the rain of bullets plough out dead blanks in the crowd, and the thick bloody breath stimulated him to be dizzy for a while.

"My lord, I can't stand it ahead...... The enemy's firepower is too fierce, we can't get close to the second castle wall at all, do you think you want to retreat first and think of a way......" "Yaga!" Yama Prefecture Youpeng roared angrily, and the sword in his hand slashed diagonally at the captain of the ashigaru in front of him, and went down with a knife, "You dare to disturb the heart of our army?"

The killing shocked the people present, and Yamaguchi pointed to the walls of Osaka Castle and shouted, "It was this group of rebels who destroyed the emperor's imperial banner, it was this group of bastard princes who fainted, and it was they who made our Western Army lose face......"

"Two hundred years ago, our western kingdom was defeated again and again at the hands of the daimyo of the eastern country, Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu...... Are we going to let them oppress them for another 200 years?"

"The luck accumulated in two hundred years has finally found an opportunity to break through, and if it fails, where will we find another two hundred years...... The whole army obeys the order, assault!"

The samurai of the Choshu Domain had an extraordinary pride in their hearts, and the centuries-old history of suppression inspired their blood bravery, and hundreds of samurai formed death squads at that time.

"Where are the dead soldiers of the Choshu Domain, and where are the loyal ministers of the Mori family?"

"The dead soldiers of the Choshu clan are here! Here are the loyal servants of the Mori family!"

This time they were quite smart, one by one they tied up the double-thick door panels with straw ropes, and then a dozen people stared at such earthen shields and began to slowly advance inside.

With every step, Ashigaru soldiers threw dirt on it, and when the earth tank rushed into the Ichinojo Gate, twenty centimeters of dirt had been piled up on the door panel.

The power of the first generation of Gatling gunpowder was actually only a little larger and limited than that of a rifle, and there was nothing to be done against such a double-layered thickened shield, and the Japanese were really commendable for their ingenuity on the battlefield.

Bullets puffed into the dirt, and the samurai below huddled together one by one, shouting trumpets and advancing in a uniform rhythm...... Hah!roar...... Hah!" There were only some unlucky guys on the edge, who didn't shoot their legs and feet, and lay on the ground.

"You work hard...... The city gates are close at hand!" The samurai screamed as they screamed, and then the torches were dropped, and flames rose from their shields.

"Accelerate, accelerate...... Use this fire to burn down the gates!" the dead men shouted and ran wildly, enduring the scorching flames, and with a clatter, they poked their wooden shields at the gates of the Second Castle.

The samurai all carried large pouches of fire oil and threw them into the fire when they crackled, and soon the gates of Ni no Castle began to burn.

The flames licked the wooden door and sent out billowing smoke, and the soldiers of the Choshu Domain cheered with excitement, but the dead paid a great price, and were almost completely wiped out under the crossfire of the two heavy machine guns.

"Burned through...... Look, the gates are burned down...... Crash in!"
